Non-melting candies....what are your favorites? Is there a name for those strawberry hard candies with the gel-ish centers that come in wrappers that look like strawberries? I like those. And Runts. And Gobstoppers... you know, hard candies in general are pretty nummy. Compared to other people in the SW thread, though, I fear my tastes run to the relatively mundane...

What are you happiest about (besides SW)? What makes you feel good this summer? Any summer? Sunshine. Popsicles. Watching the dogs run around outside. I love going swimming, though the opportunities to do so don't present themselves too often here in land-locked land. Summery clothes and summery drinks. Backyard cookouts. Peaches.

Do you like coffee and/or wine? I do!

What are your thought on World Market? It's pretty awesome.

If you are a dog lover, or gigantic dog nerd like I am, would you like any breed-related items from this site? If so, which breed(s)? Answered in-thread.

A witch wants to cheer you up. What are we cheering you up from? In other words, what are the most pressing problems you're facing right now? Persistent money woes, mostly in the form of debt. My [biological] family. [My family that consists of my Boy and my aminals and my beloved friends is much less stressful!] Jerks (from swaplifters -- even though I wasn't personally affected -- to the friend of my Boy's family who I've never met but is currently throwing Bible verses at me via Facebook ). Not knowing what I'm supposed to be doing with my life. Being too hard on myself.

Who out there is equally challenged and would appreciate icons/banners as witchy gifts? That'd be neat!

Lip balm? I have a lot, but wouldn't turn away more.

What's that one thing you keep meaning to get but keep forgetting or passing over? Um... er... hmm... ... ...I have little doubt that there's gotta be something, but I haven't the foggiest at the moment.

What styles of jewelry do you like? Bold and funky? Delicate and dainty? Short necklaces, long ones, chokers? Bracelets or anklets? I like funky, I like bold, and I also like simple. I'm not sure "delicate and dainty" are descriptors of things I'd seek out (they certainly don't describe me! , but if the piece(s) suit me, so much the better. Short and long necklaces are both great; chokers I'm a bit more finicky/hesitant about because I can sometimes be fretful about things close around my neck. Bracelets and anklets are both great, especially during the summertime when one can show off such things.

Does my witchee like hats, a floppy summer sun hat or something more stylish? Would you like a hand knit cap or hat? I'm randomly thinking a cloche-type hat might look good on me. My head is kinda pointy, but also kinda small. In general I think I look cute in hats, but sometimes "cute" is a little too close to "aww, lookit the little girl with her daddy's hard hat on!" for my tastes. I don't wanna be cute, I wanna be a badass, goddammit!

What kind of shopper are you? Do you make a budget? Planner, or compulsive? Do you like to buy what's new, special offers, only the usual? I'm relatively easily overstimmed, so I try either to have a list or to be sure of what I'm there for. In those cases, bam I'm in, bam I've got my stuff, bam I'm out. Otherwise I tend to wander around, pondering whether I should buy this, or that, or anything at all... can I justify spending the money?... wow, that's shiny... OMG is that Richard Marx on the radio? Yak... Often I'll just pet the yarn/books/CDs and then leave without buying anything. Mostly I don't like shopping. Bah.
